Reflecting on my journey at Kreedo Early Childhood Solutions fills me with a surge of emotions, especially now that I've recently transitioned from my role as Marketing Manager. Over the past 13 months, I had the privilege of serving in a company that transcends the ordinary. Here are a few highlights from my experience at Kreedo: 1. Purpose-driven Culture: Kreedo isn't just another business-to-business entity; it's a beacon of purpose, values, and a profound mission to revolutionize early education across India. 2. Freedom to Innovate: From day one, I was empowered to experiment and innovate. At Kreedo, creativity isn't just encouraged; it's celebrated. I cherished the freedom to explore new ideas and approaches in my role. 3. Supportive Environment: The people at Kreedo make all the difference. It's a vibrant ecosystem where teamwork and support are at the core of everything we do. Whether it was brainstorming sessions or tackling challenges, I always felt supported and encouraged. 4. Founder's Vision: The founders' unwavering dedication and passion were contagious. Their vision for Kreedo drove us all to work harder and dream bigger. It was inspiring to see everyone in the company aligned towards the same goals. 5. Promising Future: With such a strong foundation and a team of dedicated individuals, the future of Kreedo is incredibly bright. I have no doubt that Kreedo will continue to make waves in the education industry, and I'm grateful to have been a part of its journey. As I reflect on my time at Kreedo, I'm filled with gratitude for the experiences and opportunities I had. While my journey with Kreedo may have come to an end, the memories and lessons learned will stay with me forever. Here's to the next chapter and the exciting adventures that lie ahead.

This may be controversial…but it shouldn’t be. TechSlice, LLC had 12 holidays off, some paid community volunteer time, and a discretioanry company week shutdown to ‘reset’ on top of regular employee PTO last year. I’ve been told it’s a LOT of time for a startup. (Only in the US) Most of our work is deliverable/results based. This year, I added another week of employee PTO based off of feedback from the team. I’ve been criticized for the holidays we celebrate and have been told what I ‘should do’… I love feedback but, telling others what to do without taking the time to understand the ‘why’ behind people’s decisions comes off as patronizing. You think you’re the only one telling me how to run my company? You’re not. It’s also not your company and not my first rodeo. We’re not your average company. We never will be. We are a team of creatives and we work on crazy stuff. When were ‘on’ - we’re ‘on’. We perform. When we’re off, we’re off. That needs to be respected. There are benefits to creatives (and everyone) to have that space and time to ‘be bored’, to THINK, to create outside of ‘tasking’. Or just to be with others. Outside of that, when daycare is closed - we’re closed! When daycare and other institutions are closed, how to you expect parents and caretakers in general to be productive? Some family structures have support during those times and others don’t. That extra support isn’t guaranteed. I’m a big believer in family first. Take care of what you need to. Family time is family time and work time is work time. I’m a single mom running a company. I do my best to juggle and sometimes those worlds blend. I can’t do it all at once. Why would I expect my team to? Get real. Does that make me less effective? I’d argue it makes me hyper effective when I’m actually at work. My perspective and experience running two software agencies, a hybrid venture studio, and growing my company throughout COVID (with a young child) - has shown me the importance of a culture that respects time off and closing when childcare and various elder care institutions are closed. You may or may not get that but, you don’t have to. My team does. How we spend our time is our decision. Not yours. Period.

#EmployeeSpotlight - Jeffrey Thumas I am so excited that September marks my 4 years here at GBR! Throughout my time here, I have seen a lot of changes. Not only from the company itself, but my journey and sense of purpose here has also significantly changed. To me, purpose is a fluid concept, often shifting as we navigate through various stages of our lives and careers. My journey at GBR has been a testament to this fluidity. When I first started in adops, my sense of purpose was primarily driven by a desire to excel and prove myself as a valuable asset and be given the opportunity to grow. My initial goals were centered around absorbing any and all knowledge, completing projects, earning accolades, and advancing my career in every way. However, as time passed, my positions at GBR changed and my perspective began to broaden. A pivotal moment that solidified this shift occurred when I came to the realization of my true purpose at GBR. I realized that my sense of fulfillment and purpose was increasingly tied to the well-being of the people around me as well as the continued success of GBR. I realized that I find deep satisfaction in fostering and growing success within the company as a whole. This realization has had a profound impact on the choices I make everyday. I find myself not only trying to better myself, but also prioritizing initiatives that advance our goals and our team. My approach shifted from focusing solely on my own purpose, to also prioritizing the continued success of GBR and empowering others to do the same. This change has not only confirmed my sense of purpose but also enhances my career path with a deeper, more collaborative vision of success. #PathwaysToSuccess

So this company has me blocked from making comments! 1099 companies are terrible for healthcare! They do not offer their independent contractors the benefits they deserve. They deliberately misclassify these people as contractors instead of workers, just to avoid paying payroll taxes and the costs of benefits. The Labor Dept is cracking down on these companies and many facilities are being sued and viewed to be the real employer, thus requiring them to pay the back payroll taxes and benefits for these workers. In addition, if there are problems with employee performance, there is not much of an office staff to address those issues. Their credentialling processes are poor because they are not healthcare professionals who really care. When these workers have pay issues, they go through so much stress to get paid what they are due. There are SO many reasons to avoid hiring 1099 agencies! Google this matter and read the facts!

Hey everyone! 🚀 Just wanted to drop in that I’ve officially been at Olvy for a full year! 🎉 Yep, I started right in the heat of finals season—just 15 days before my last exams. Crazy timing, right? This past year has been nothing short of a rollercoaster. (And who doesn’t love a good thrill ride?) I've dabbled in nearly every department at Olvy, which is hands-down the coolest part of being in a startup. It’s like being in a rock band, but instead of instruments, we play with spreadsheets and code 😂 ! We're not just a team; we're more like a family that throws the best house parties, dominates at game nights, and even ventures out on company outings that are all top-tier fun. 🕺🎲 I must give a massive shoutout to our founders(Arnob and Nishant), who are constantly pushing boundaries and challenging the norm. Working with them is like a non-stop lesson in innovation—they make sure I am never settling for low! Big thanks to all the super-talented folks, Viraj Chetna Rupak Akshay Ankit ADHIL Periyaswamy and Manav who fuel Olvy, and make our office the coolest place to work at. Plus, the flexibility I get in my work schedule? Simply unbeatable. If you're ever curious about the startup life or just want to hear more about my wild office adventures, let’s Grab Chai. I’ve got lots of stories!

As we celebrate Easter, a time of renewal and hope, I'm reminded of the profound alignment between this season and our purpose at Susco. The story of Christ’s resurrection, with its themes of rebirth and new beginnings, is near and dear to me as a source of inspiration for our mission to unleash human potential. At Susco, we believe in the power of transformation. Just as Easter symbolizes the promise of new life, we are committed to creating software solutions that open doors to new possibilities for individuals and organizations. Our aim is not just to innovate but to empower—to help users and employees alike to overcome challenges, realize their aspirations, and tap into their fullest potential. Our work is about more than just technology; it's about people. It's about building systems that serve as catalysts for growth, learning, and improvement. Every line of code we write, every project we undertake, is an opportunity to make a significant impact on someone's life, whether it's streamlining their work, enhancing their capabilities, or even changing their trajectory. This Easter, as we reflect on themes of renewal and hope, I'm filled with gratitude for our team at Susco. Your dedication, creativity, and passion are the driving forces behind our mission. Together, we're not just developing software; we're crafting tools that unlock the incredible potential within each person we reach. Let's continue to embrace the spirit of Easter by fostering environments where new beginnings are possible, where challenges are met with innovative solutions, and where every individual has the opportunity to grow and flourish. Here's to unleashing human potential, today and every day. Happy Easter to all who celebrate, and to everyone, may this season inspire you to embrace new beginnings and endless possibilities. With Love, Gratitude, and Growth! (❤️🙏💪🏽) Neel #easter #rebirth #growthmindset #humanpotential
